In the past year, I've learned the importance of mindset. The thoughts you allow to percolate in your mind affect your perspective, and your perspective is how you experience the world. What you feed your mind shapes your reality.
Staying in the right mindset on a daily basis is more challenging some days than others. Most of the time, I'm feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to take on the world. But there are also those days when anxiety, fear, and self-doubt creep in. For a while, I ... View the Post

We've all been there. You have a strong drive and desire to create something, but when you sit down to work on it, the inspiration just won't come. It's like trying to drive a car without gas. It can be a frustrating, maddening, and seemingly hopeless experience.
But it's not hopeless. Far from it.
When you get stuck in a creative rut, here are some of my personal go-to remedies that always help me rekindle the fire and get cozy with that sometimes stubborn bitch we call Inspiration.

It's finally here: 2018. While I love the holidays, it feels great to be back to my routine so I can focus all my energy on my writing and career goals again.

I've always been big on making New Year's resolutions. I'm into big dreams and self-improvement, so New Year's is like my Superbowl in terms of setting goals. Like many people, though, I've spent many years falling back into old habits after a month or two and finding the same goals back on my list the following year. I'm happy to say that in 2017, I accomplished several of the goals I wrote down and as for the ones I didn't, I've accepted responsibility for not working hard enough to make them ... View the Post

Being productive is something I've struggled with most of my life (and still do at times). For a while, I was the girl who relied on vague plans to reach my goals and was always frustrated with how "little" time I had to pursue them.
When I started writing down my New Year's resolutions a few years ago, I noticed that a lot of the ones concerning my dreams kept repeating year after year and I wasn't getting any closer to accomplishing them. As someone painfully aware of how fast time flies, I ... View the Post

I'm a perfectionist.
While this trait gets a pretty bad rap, I think it can actually be a strong one once you learn how to make it work for you rather than against you. Once you tame it, so to speak. Perfectionism is only bad when you let it immobilize you. If you use it to strive for the best but know when it's time to step away, then you're onto something.
But knowing this and putting it into practice are two very different beasts.
One of the hardest experiences to cope with is when a ... View the Post
